DAF unveiled an all-electric truck with 170 kWh battery pack

It seems that almost all heavy trucks manufacturers develop their own projects of electrified trucks. For instance, Dutch company DAF is one of the last to show their all-electric truck.

New DAF CF drivetrain consists of an electric motor with 210 kW output and 170 kWh battery pack. The battery though seems quite small for such a large vehicle (in contrast, Volvo FL Electric may be equipped with 300 kWh pack), but DAF claims their truck is able to travel 100 km (63 miles) on a single charge with a cargo capacity of 40 tons, that should be enough for the majority of urban operations.

DAF equipped the truck with quite fast charger – according to the company release, quick charging takes as short as 30 minutes, while the full charge will take about 1.5 hours.
